The sword's radiance flashed, breaking Mao Taixi's palm-strike force. The aftershocks spread, causing everyone to retreat. After unleashing this one palm-strike, Mao Taixi attempted to flee without regard to anything else, as his fighting prowess was rendered nearly non-existent.
Mao Taixi leapt towards the courtyard exit, and after a few bounds, he was on the courtyard wall. However, before he could get over it, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest. Looking down, he saw the tip of a sword protruding from his chest.
As Su Chengyu formed a sword technique, the Dragon Slayer Sword was pulled out from Mao Taixi's back with a 'whoosh,' trailing a stream of blood. It promptly flew back to Su Chengyu's side, not a drop of blood staining it.
Mao Taixi's body tumbled down from the wall. He felt his life force rapidly ebbing away. The fear of death lingered in his heart and would not dissipate.
